Universal Eyes 'Wicked' Theme Park Land: Chu's Vision
26 Nov
Summary
- Director Jon M. Chu has original ideas for a Wicked theme park land.
- Universal parks are undergoing massive expansion, creating opportunities.
- Fans show strong interest in a Wicked-themed attraction.
- A new ride concept, 'Whizomania,' was nearly in Wicked: Part One.
The success of "Wicked: For Good" suggests the franchise has significant long-term potential, with talks emerging about further film installments and the exciting possibility of a dedicated "Wicked" theme park land. Director Jon M. Chu has already envisioned unique attractions, including an idea for a ride based on the Emerald City's arrival sequence.
Universal's theme parks are in a phase of substantial growth, particularly with the recent debut of Epic Universe and other parks under construction. This expansion creates opportune moments for new themed lands, with "Wicked" being a strong candidate for locations like Epic Universe or the upcoming Universal park in the United Kingdom.
Beyond potential new parks, even existing areas like The Lost Continent at Universal Islands of Adventure could be redeveloped. While other franchises like "The Legend of Zelda" are also rumored for theme park integration, the considerable fan enthusiasm for "Wicked" makes a dedicated land a highly probable future addition to Universal's entertainment offerings.
